Parents may apply to the program after taking a tour of the school and submitting an application with the accompanying application fee. Once an application is submitted, children are placed on a waiting list.

While there is no sibling discount (as the cost for providing care for each child is the same), priority is given to siblings of children already enrolled in the program (with the exception of the infant classroom). This practice aligns with our mission: To support our families & build community.

LMUCC operates year-round. However, as part of the University, LMUCC observes the same holidays and early closure days as the greater University. LMUCC closes for designated staff development and training days. A calendar of the year's events and closure days is distributed annually and at enrollment.

Yes. LMUCC provides morning and afternoon snacks and beverages (milk or water), at no additional cost. A lunch program is available at an additional cost or parents may also choose to pack a lunch. The classrooms have refrigerator storage and microwaves available to warm lunches (for children over 15 months), as necessary. Parents provide all infant formula or breast milk and baby food until their child is able to eat the food supplied by LMUCC.

At LMUCC, we believe that the children's daily interactions are opportunities for teachers to foster friendships and facilitate conflict resolution. We are committed to helping children develop a positive sense of self as well as the personal responsibility to care for others and their environment. When placed within any group of children, a variety of ideas, desires and needs will lead to different opinions. We support the development of children's problem-solving skills while also employing such strategies as redirection and natural consequences as a means of resolving conflicts.
